How to Conquer The Stage: Learning from A Stand-Up Comedian

“Don’t memorize, but plant it”, said by Fajar Ardiansyah on last Thursday workshop. This annual workshop aimed at exploring students’ ability on public speaking. We invited the ‘real’ practitioner who were capable of delivering tips on public speaking because he will bring his ‘real’ experience on the workplace to the classroom. Fajar was previously a debater with numerous achievement and now is working as a journalist and stand-up comedian.

Students were enthusiastic joining this workshop. They have a new knowledge about how to have a good performance and ways to compensate their weaknesses. Fajar explains that there are three things that a public speaker must master: matters, manners, and methods.
